I was in a similar boat last year. I had around a grand to put on speakers, but couldn't decide whether to go with a low end 5.1 setup or a (fairly) decent stereo pair.
I ended up with a pair of Klipsch F-3s and absolutely couldn't be happier. They sell for around $850 a pair so above your budget I know, but I'd recommend them to anyone regardless.
I love the Klipsch sound...
